So, I've been getting the infamous "Could not detect a flash controller" error on this 256MB Jasper that I've been trying to read the NAND off of. The NAND-X has worked for me on my own 16MB console the first time, but then after that it would not read my NAND anymore with the aforementioned error. I thought it was just "finished" with my console so I just shrugged it off and used Flash360 to do my future NAND reading and writing.
Then I received this Jasper that I am currently working on and decided to use the NAND-X on it. Thus, the "Could not detect a flash controller" has appeared again. I have re-checked and re-soldered my wires over a dozen times and they are solid. Multimeter checks them out clean. Now I am thinking of ways that the connection could be disrupted. The connector possibly?
I then snipped the connector off and soldered the snipped portion to the legs of the connector on the NAND-X-
No dice.
So then I was thinking that it just might the wires themselves. I ditched the wires that the NAND-X came in and used my own-
Still nothing.
Finally, I swallowed my pride and used the QSBs-
Nada.
I re-installed drivers, rebooted my PC multiple times, changed the timing when I would connect the USB cable and run the command in NandPro, used different versions of NandPro, but nothing. So at this time I'm thinking that this particular NAND-X hardware is defective. The last resort action that I can try right now is to connect the wires directly to the 360's NAND IC legs and then to the NAND-X's IC legs. But, for now, I have asked somebody that I know if I can borrow their home-built USB programmer to see if it really is the NAND-X.
If I'm going the direct connection route, is there a diagram that would work for this case?
Thank you.
